The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
13 The bottom has dropped out of buying and selling. It will never be the same again. But don't fantasize an upturn in the market. The country is bankrupt because of its sins, and it's not going to get any better. | 13 The seller will not recover the land he has sold as long as both of them live, for the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed. Because of their sins, not one of them will preserve his life. |

7 billion people are now living on Earth
Well, that's impressive: 7 billion people are alive on Earth right now, the highest population count of all time. Births are also now outstripping deaths by just over two to one. There is a website call Worldometers which is quite impressive, it has all kinds of statistics such as Internet users in the world, e-mails sent today, Tweets sent today and much more.
Quite the interesting site which is refreshing while I'm looking at it. I think it's scary: watching the "Births this year" ticking away at 2 per second, but even worse, "Deaths today" cranking through 1 per second. That little number represents an actual human being that has loved ones, dying while I watch it.
On the amusing side, Government and Economics gets its own section... 50 million cars have been produced this year so far, 113 million bicycles. Over 360 million (at the time of typing) newspaper circulated today. This is going by around 5,000 per second... over 236 billion (with a B) e-mails sent today! Interesting website, but the 7 billion people mark is quite the milestone indeed! Feels good to be an Earthling today!
9/11 World Trade Center tribute by Alex Mihal
The 10-year anniversary of the shocking attacks on American soil is over, but the memory and effects of 9/11 will always be there. There have been various tributes to the survivors and heroic rescue works: fire department, police department and even just normal people like you and me who did their bit to help during and after the attacks. My good friend Alex made a tribute video and I watched it last night and loved it, the track used fits perfectly and it's wonderfully done.

LulzSec threaten to release big Murdoch email archive
LulzSec just recently hacked The Sun's website and are now claiming to have extracted an email archive in which they plan to release later today. News International's systems were hacked on Monday night and the results of the hack lead to The Sun's website redirected toward a fake story about Rupert Murdochs death. The group also redirected visitors to the main News International website to the LulzSec Twitter feed. In addition to all of these "lulz", the hack looks to have given LulzSec access to News International's email database.
Sabu, a prominent member of LulzSec said via Twitter that they [LulzSec] were sitting on a bunch of emails from News International staffers that it planned to release on Thursday. In the meantime, Sabu released email login details of former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks. Rebekah, a key figure in the News of the World voicemail-hacking scandal. Brooks (at the time called Wade) edited The Sun between 2003 and 2009 and had been using the password 63000 to access her email account at the paper.

Man robs bank for $1 so that he could be arrested and receive free medical health care
James Richard Verone tried everything in his power to receive medical attention by the book, but when he couldn't, he resorted to the only option he saw fit; rob a bank. Verone had worked for most of his life and although he was in need of medical attention, he applied for disability and early social security to which he only received food stamps.
His physical pains had included a protrusion in his chest, arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Caused by his last job which was as a convenience store clerk, this led to his extensive injuries. His way out? To rob a bank. Verone sold and donated all of his furniture, paid his last months rent and gave his notice. He moved into the Hampton Inn for his last free days as a free man and on June 9 took a cab down New Hope Road and chose a bank at random; RBC Bank.
Has Cancer been cured? Big Pharma doesn't like that idea very much...
Edit: After the jump is an update on this news.
Most of us know someone who has been through the trauma that is cancer, with all of this technology at our fingertips, we should be putting limitless funds into the creation of a cure. But, are we too late? It seems so, as it has now been cured. Yet major pharmaceutical companies are not interested.
Researchers from the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada cured cancer last week - but just like any other world-changing, yet positive news - the mainstream media aren't reporting on it. The cure involves a basic drug which employs dichloroacetate, which is currently used to treat metabolic disorders. This means there are no side effects or worries of long term effects or problems.

Japan Nuclear Disaster raised to Level 7 on International Nuclear Event scale
The unfolding nuclear crisis in Japan has been one of the most devastating events in history and it just doesn't seem to get any better as the days go on with the reports coming out that Japanese officials may have been downplaying the amount of radiation released since the Japanese nuclear regulatory agency has now put the Fukushima Daiichi disaster on the same level as the 1986 Chernobyl explosion.
This is an admission by the Japanese government that the amount of radiation released into the environment has reached a new order of magnitude. The fact that we have now confirmed the world's second-ever Level 7 accident will have huge consequences for the global nuclear industry. It shows that current safety standards are woefully inadequate.
Japan Hit By Second Earthquake
Less than one hour ago, Japan was hit by a 7.4 magnitude off the coast of Miyagi in Northeastern Japan at around 730 AM PST, according to a report by CNN. So far no casualties have been reported, but authorities evacuated the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which was 113 km from the epicenter of the quake. Tokyo Electric Agency is reporting that the power is still on at the plant and there is little, if any damage to its structural integrity.
Japan issued a tsunami warning to inhabitants of the Miyagi prefecture and the surrounding coastal area as a precaution, but authorities claim that there is no imminent danger of a wide-scale massive Pacific Tsunami, especially not to Hawaii or California.
aCure Vending Machine Already Knows Your A/S/L
Japanese designer Fumie Shibata created this wonder of the 21st century for Japanese beverage company JR East Water Business (Yes, the word Business is in their corporate name). The vending machine pictured above was installed in the Shinigawa metro station back in August, but the company plans to implement at least 500 of the machines all throughout Tokyo by 2012.
Sporting a 47-inch touch screen, a camera, and what can only be numerous environmental sensors, these smart-vendors absorb sensory data to determine the sex and approximate age of the person approaching it, better equipping it to offer personalized recommendations for a potential user. When not in use, the machine displays advertisements for some of its products based on time of day and current weather- on a brisk morning, it might be advertising a hot cup of coffee, whereas a humid day would see colder, refreshing beverages highlighted.
The aCure is connected to servers at JREWB, which constantly update the inventory availability as well as purchase statistics to improve specific-location product marketing.

Cancer-detecting device now capable of detecting HIV?

Mehmet Toner who is a Harvard Medical School professor of biomedical engineering along with MIT aeronautical engineer Brian Wardle came up with adapting Toner's project (on which he worked on for four years) which is being used in hospitals currently. Wardle used his knowledge of aeronaturics to streamline the carbon nanotube-studded device, making it stronger and capable of collecting cancerous cells eight times better than Toner's original device was capable of.

Japan Earthquake: Watch for Scams, Fraud
According to Mike Lennon of Security Week, the tragedy of last night's earthquake off the coast of Japan wil lead to further proof the human race is full of terrible, terrible people.
[image courtesy of Trend Labs Malware Blog- Blackhat SEO attacks launched just minutes after news of the earthquake came in]
He writes, "Today's tragic events of the 8.9 magnitude earthquake and resulting Tsunami, as sad as it is, is a dream for scammers and fraudsters around the world. Tragic events are always something scammers use to their advantage, helping them prey on and exploit innocent victims...Scams are already spreading across Facebook, which started in a matter of minutes after the news broke of the earthquake in Japan. As I write this, scammers are hard at work, registering new domains and cranking out templates for their fake donation sites. This will be followed with massive volumes of email spam, Tweets through Twitter, and Facebook posts, as scammers gear up to solicit donations from around the world. Users also need to be aware that cybercriminals also use these events to help spread malware, via malicious links via spam, twitter and other fake Web sites.

I have a vial of White Labs Burton ale yeast. I'm looking for recomendations on what to brew to use this yeast. I have a great APA recipe that uses Nottingham. If I substituted this would it totally screw it up. I've never used the burton yeast
I did an English IPA that uses it, but it's only 2.5 weeks in primary so far so I can't really comment. White Labs says (WLP023) it's "Great for all English styles, IPA's, bitters, and pales. Excellent in porters and stouts."
I like a little more beer in my beer.
I made a pale ale with the Burton yeast and I did not care for it at all. The yeast overpowered the beer. I ended up letting the keg sit for quite a while and the yeast flavor backed off a bit, but it was still much more pronounced than I was hoping for.
I used it on orfys mild mannerded mild and It turned out pretty great. I brewed the same recipe with s-04 and notty also, but I liked the burton best. I fermented around 62-64.
I get Burton Ale yeast from my local microbrewery for free and use it for a my portors and IPAs and it does fine for me. I ferment in the low 60s during the fall, winter and spring so maybe that is why I don't have a problem with it.
i had good results in stouts
Stouts and Porters, excellent.

The Bromeliad Family (Bromeliaceae) includes pineapples and many ornamental plants. Most have a rosette form, and they come in an amazing array of leaf colors, from silver to purple to green, often with sharp teeth along the leaf edges. Their wonderful flowers are an added attraction. The Ice Plant Family (Aizoaceae) is amazingly diverse, with more different species than any other family of succulents except the Cactus family. Some are groundcovers with dazzling flowers, while others are highly specialized miniatures with great appeal to collectors. Examples include living stones, tiger jaws, split rocks, and baby toes.
Learn how this drought-tolerant garden came to be in the middle of Walnut Creek. From pear and walnut orchards to suburbia, discover the changes that made this area what it is today. In addition to the history of this property, this class will cover the historical uses of many of our plants – those used for medicinal purposes, food sources, building materials, or other hobbies.

California native plants make sense in drought-tolerant gardens, as do Australian plants. These plants grow in conditions that match your California climate and can thrive with very little babying after they become established. Come out to The Ruth Bancroft Garden and learn to identify these varied drought-tolerant plants which grace the garden's pathways.
Many plants in the garden are incorrectly referred to as "Cactus" because of common misconceptions about the plant family. Discover the diversity of the family Cactaceae along with Euphorbiaceae, plants that can look a lot like cactus but contain a milky sap inside and belong to an entirely different family.
Past Workshop Examples

Sept. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Madeline Wiebicke is convinced the blood cancer that killed her husband Randy in March came from his work as a firefighter at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, and during the cleanup after that day's terrorist attack.
A study released in The Lancet, a U.K.-based medical journal, suggests her suspicions may be correct. The report found that firefighters who responded to the disaster were 19 percent more likely to have cancer in the 7 years that followed the attacks than those who weren't there.
The research is the first to tie a higher cancer risk to first responders. It spurred calls for a review of a law that fails to include cancer in providing health coverage for Sept. 11 victims. The decision not to include the disease in the law, effective July 1, followed a review by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health this year that found there was too little evidence to provide a definitive link.
"My husband's firehouse was right there, and they were down there for days at the beginning," said Wiebicke, 51, whose husband developed multiple myeloma about two years ago. "In the beginning, they didn't even have masks."
The study's finding isn't a surprise, she said in a telephone interview. When she visited her husband in the hospital over a six months period, "I just saw so many cops and firefighters being treated for blood cancers."
The research involved 9,853 firefighters overall, and was carried out by researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, both in the Bronx, and the bureau of health services for the Fire Department of the City of New York.
50,000 Exposed
Over 50,000 people, including firefighters, police and construction workers, were exposed to chemicals at the site while working to rescue survivors, recover the dead and clean the site or surrounding buildings, wrote James Melius, an administrator for the New York State Laborers' Health Fund, in an accompanying editorial. Few people had the intense and lengthy exposure of firefighters, he wrote.
"We don't know what's going to happen in the future to these people, whether there might be a delayed onset of disease such as cancer," Melius said in a telephone interview.
The study looked at the diagnoses and deaths of firefighters through Sept. 11, 2008, a period that included 27 cancer deaths, said David Prezant, a study author and the chief medical officer of the Fire Department of New York City, in a conference call with reporters.
Responders Compensation
On Jan. 2, President Barack Obama signed legislation to help rescuers, cleanup crews and other people suffering from ailments linked to the World Trade Center wreckage. As yet, there isn't any compensation for firefighters who get cancer because of toxic exposure, Melius said.
U.S. Senator Tom Coburn blocked the legislation in December 2010, citing cost concerns. He and other Senate Republicans dropped their opposition to the bill when it was cut to $4.3 billion from the initial $6.2 billion, and was scheduled to close in 2016 instead of 2031.
Slower-growing cancers like mesothelioma may not be evident by then, Melius said. "The federal government needs to seriously consider adding cancer to the list of covered conditions," he said.
Cancer can take a big financial toll on families because those who become sick, and often their family caregivers, can't work and treatment is expensive, he said.
Fred Blosser, a spokesman for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health said the agency will conduct a second review in "early- to mid-2012."
Second Review
"We will incorporate new peer-reviewed studies in that review, including the Lancet article," Blosser said in a telephone interview. If there's enough evidence to suggest a cancer link, firefighters and other first responders can get treatment at no charge to them, he said.
There were up to 38 excess cases of cancer in the 7 year follow-up of the firefighters, the study's authors reported. Longer studies will be needed to continue to assess firefighters' risk, the department's Prezant said.
The study excluded firefighters who were older than 60 on Sept. 11, and anyone with a previous diagnosis of cancer. No specific association for any type of cancer was found.
The chemicals that the firefighters were exposed to, including asbestos, biphenyls and dioxins, are known to cause blood cancers and mesothelioma, so doctors will continue to monitor for those illnesses, Prezant said in a conference call.
"Although we found an increase in all cancers in firefighters, and we can only comment on them since their exposure is unique, it's not an epidemic," Prezant said. "The most important thing to do is enroll in active cancer prevention and screening programs, which we have as part of our medical monitoring program."
The Wiebicke Family
Randy Wiebicke was a lieutenant at Ladder 1. When he got sick, Wiebicke, a real estate agent and mother of three, said she was shuttled to and from appointments by other firefighters, she said. She's received no financial aid, even though her husband's death was considered by the fire department to be incurred in the line-of-duty, she said.
"There are lots of medical bills out there," she said. "He was in the hospital for 4 months at the end."

I purchased this dresser over 20 years ago and was told then that it was a 'hotel' dresser. The top drawer is a desk that pulls out, complete with an ink well. We recently replaced the mirror because the original one was cracked in the move (I still have that one), and we have not put it back on yet.
Does anyone know how old it is, and an approximate value? I've never seen another dresser like it for a basis of comparision. TYVM! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Desk drawer
Follow-Up Postings:
I have never heard those dresser desks called a hotel dresser....doesn't make much sense to me as it looks like something for long time use....with the cubby holes and all. My girl friend had one when I was young. How I envied her! All I had was a little desk that had been my great grandmother's...!! (poor me!) It's a very utilitarian style, but made of quarter sawn oak, My guess on time period would be about 1920....and perhaps it was for a school dormitory, or a convent. Linda C |
I have a chest of drawers in a very similar style and know for a fact it was made circa 1910. So that era give or take ten years is a good guess. Not at all ornate, and sometimes that type of furniture was referred to as in the "Adams" style when it was sold new. It's listed as such in some of my old furniture catalogues, insinuating it is that era's version of early American. Just because it's not ornate and is heavy and functional doesn't make it something other than household furniture, and that's very well what it is. Here's the thing about those monikers hung on antiques when they're bought and sold. Purchasers take it to heart assuming the history of a piece was passed along it's sale's journey. More often than not, someone down the line hangs a guess on it and then it's passed on like it's cut in stone. Happens all the time in genealogy with oral tradition. It's a nice piece and you done good if you got it for a decent price. Shame about the mirror. That happened to a piece I was transporting too and I also shall have to replace it with a modern mirror and they do look different, have a different 'cast' to their reflection and depth of field. |
Another ppoint in it's favor is the locks on the drawers.... Also a lot of the "monikers" have to do with a seller "romancing the stone" as it were...somewhere along the way. I have a friend who has a "covered wagon rocker" and a "hired hand's bed"... |
I'm not following your gist of the locks on the drawers. Can you elaborate? |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Wed, Sep 19, 12 at 23:22
We have one circa 1840ish and in SO's family papers there is an inventory from the 19th c. that referred to it as a Gentleman's Desk or a Gentleman's Secretary. |
Calliope, I think what Linda was saying (correct me if I'm wrong) is that a hotel dresser would not have locks on the drawers. There would be no real need, since there are keyed locks on the doors and most guests had a lockable trunk or suitcase. In fact, it would be a disadvantage, since guests would inadvertently walk off with keys. |
I swear I thought I posted just what chibimimi just said! Guess that's one of those things where I wrote a post but the phone rang before I could post! Anyhow, lockless dressers like that were often seen in dorm rooms and in lower end hotels... Pal, I'll bet your 1840 gentlemen's desk looks very different from the one pictured. Perhaps we could see a picture of yours? |
- Posted by lonestarlady (My Page) on Thu, Sep 20, 12 at 9:36
Thank you all so much for the information. If I remember correctly, I paid in the neighborhood of $250 for the dresser 20 years ago. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Thu, Sep 20, 12 at 10:08
Also known as a "Butler's Desk". It hid the sordid details of paying bills by looking like an ordinary dresser. I can easily see that piece in a dormitory, because of the mirror. Multi-function, inexpensive and sturdy .. dorm furniture. |
The ink well probably dates it before 1945. If it was in a residence, there may be ink stains around the inkwell. If the inkwell was never used or the prior owner(s) were very careful it will be very clean. |

Discoco Pendant LightPin It Houzz |
. |
Related Info Tools |
Design by Christophe Mathieu.By Marset.
Exuberant and attractive, the Discoco range of fixtures offers an interplay of suggestive, highly effective lighting. The thirty-five ABS disks vibrantly reflect the internal light source. On the outside, this reflection varies depending on the angle of the light, at the same time as providing direct illumination from its underside. The chromed sphere to which the metal bars holding the disks in place are connected, provides glittering reflections.
"The early sketches for the Discoco date from 1997, but, at that time, I was not clear as to how to bring the idea to fruition. In the intervening period, I had gone back to them a few times, before finally coming up with the most suitable technology and manufacturing process." - Christophe Mathieu.
Composed of opaque discs of molded ABS and injection molded aluminum rods.

"Whole grains and protein - these fit right in with my new low-GI diet. They are very filling - I could eat only one! I used homemade dry cottage cheese (farmer's cheese / paneer) so had to add skim milk to make the mixture more runny, and I used 2 whole eggs instead of 4 egg-whites as other reviewers have suggested. I didn't have any vanilla to ha..."
"Yum! I had only strawberries to hand and, with 1.5 tablespoons of soft brown sugar it was lovely. Next time I will make it with even more shortbread topping."
"Wonderful and incredibly light. My fillets were a little on the thin side so I will cut down the time a little next time as it was just a tiny bit dry. The entire family loved this, from fussy husband to in-laws to 1-year-old daughter, there was hardly any left for me! Will definitely make this again. I did sprinkle a little white pepper in with t..."
"Sadly, this didn't turn out too great for me. I didn't have any parsley to hand so omitted it, the rest of the directions I followed to the letter. It still ended up tasting overwhelmingly of mayonnaise, albeit with the sweetness of tarragon and sharpness of vinegar. I think this recipe heavily depends on what sort of mayonnaise you use, or perhap..."
"Turned out very good, the family loved it. Mine was a little grainy although I followed the recipe (increasing quantities to serve 8). I topped mine with raspberry coulis instead of zest which also went very well. I am not a fan of very sweet desserts and felt that the sugar was just right. Next time I will make it in shot glasses or 1/4 cup size ..."
"My family enjoyed these cookies! I plan to cut back on the sugar a little the next time I make them as we prefer our cookies to be just that little bit less sweet. I also thought that the batches I baked at 13 mins were better than those at 11 mins - next time I might give it an extra minute to give the cookie a firmer texture on the outside."
"Perhaps the white sauce didn't thicken because chef wrote step 11 twice but must have meant to add flour instead at step 12! Eh, chef/."
"These turned out quite nicely. I would cut back on the salt a bit next time as the parmesan, butter and cornflakes are all quite salty. The zucchini does require a healthy dip of butter in order for the batter to stick to it, so it was heavier than I expected, considering it's a baked recipe and not fried. All in all, though, tasted good, and dead..."
"This recipe took much longer to cook than expected - all in all this took me 4 hours, excluding chilling time! The chocolate, even though broken into small chunks, took absolutely ages to melt. Then I waited around for ages for the pate to bake - 180C didn't do it for me, I had to up the temperature to 190C in the end as I lost patience after havi..."

Electronics Handbook/Conductor and Electricity
Conductor and Electricity
Normally, Charges in Conductor drift randomly . When an Electric Source is connected to a conductor, The Electric Force will exert a Pressure on the charges to force charges to move in straight line causing a Current inside the conductor . The Presure of the Electric Source is called Voltage
Voltage is defined as The pressure of the Electricity Force to make charges in the conductor to move in straight line and calculated by the ratio of Work Done on an Electric Charge . Voltage is denoted as V measured in Volt v .
Current is defined as number of electric charges flow through an area of conductor in a period of Time . Current is calculated by the ratio of Electric Charge on Time . Current is denoted as I measured in Ampere A
Power is defined as Energy of a Work over Time. Power is calculated by the product of Voltage and Current . Power is denoted as P measured in Joule J or Volt Amp VA
- 1 J = 1v x 1A
Conductance is defined as the ratio of Current over Voltage . Conductance is denoted as Y measured in Siemen 1 / Ω
Resistance is defined as the ratio of Voltage over Current . Resistance is denoted as R measured in Ohm
Resistance & Temperature
It's been observed that Resistance of a conductor changes with change in Temperature
- R = Ro + nT For Conductor
- R = Ro enT For Semi Conductor
Resistance & Electric Power Loss
Also, When conductor of resistance R conducts current . Conductor releases Heat Energy into the surrounding result in loss of Electric Power Energy directly proportional to the resistance of the conductor
Energy Supply , Loss and Deliver
The Energy supplies to the conductor
The Energy loss as Dissipated Heat
The Energy Delivered without loss
Energy transfer Efficiency
The efficiecy of Power transmission can be calculated as the percentage of Real Power over the Supplied Power

Hello All,
I'm a bit new to the gardening world and I have a few palms that aren't looking so hot. Their leaves are yellow and translucent, some fronds look quite limp. What concerns me is that 2 of my 5 look like this (the other 3 are green and growing like crazy). My lawn guy suggested fertilizing the palms with a product that you apply around the fronds. Other websites suggested fertilizing the ground in a radius equal to the crown. Do you have any best practices to share? Other question, I've read that one should fertilize one's citrus 3 times a year in the spring to summer. On a side note, I grew up in New Orleans...and the idea of fertilizing or watering trees is a bit odd...but when in Tempe.... |

hi, I can answer the citrus part lol. You can use a granular type citrus around the trees 3 times per year. Just remember Valentine's Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day and that is 3 x/yr. Some people will use a acid fertilizer (like MG miracid) in smaller doses more often, but I only do that with the container citrus. As far as watering, deep watering once or twice a week is best in these hot dry climates to encourage the roots to go deep. (I know what you mean about watering and LA! ha! I almost never watered anything planted in the ground when I lived there!) I would think any good palm fertilizer would be okay for the palms. I only have a few diff types of fan palms and a cardboard palm, and thats what I use. I have at times fed mine a little fish emulsion and superthrive which they love. Another thing about some palms is, some types are very succeptible to a 'yellowing disease' and can start showing lots of yellowing of the foilage and leads to gradual decline and eventually death of the palm. I am no expert on that but you could ask on the palm forum here at GW there are lots of experts there. Hope this helps a little. ~SJN |

I bought a bag of fresh cranberries a while back for baking, and forgot about them. They're still quite fresh, just not quite good enough to bake with.
It's too hard to get to the compost pile right now, so I threw them in a pile on the snow bank. Who's going to eat them ? Birds? Squirrels? Both? It seems to me they'd be eaten by whoever sees them first, but what do I know ? =:) |
Follow-Up Postings:
If Bohemian Waxwings find them, they might eat them but they like to eat in the trees and not off the ground. Magpies and BlueJays might try them but I don't know if they would eat them. |
Something in my yard ate the cranberries I had left over from Christmas. Probably the bunnies or maggies. ??? Or maybe they just buried them in the leaves. :) Ginny |

The preveous owners painted over our fiberglass garage door to match the trim (forest green - we like the color). This door has some texturing to it. The issue is that the paint is in bad need of a new coat, but I think I'm going to have to sand certain portions that have chipped, and left pretty deep divits. My question is, how should I sand this door? I don't think I want to get too rough with it, but the chipped areas need to be feathered at least. The area that is chipped is pretty large, so doing this by hand would be a nightmare. Handheld orbital type might not be too bad.
Question 2: The Jam(?) around the garage door has weakened and frayed at the bottom edges (water damage from snow?). It was recommended to sand, removed excess fraying(sp?), and fill in gaps with Bondo*(sp?) or some other fiberglass derivative. Does this sound like a pretty decent method to repair? I realize it's just patching it up, but I thought if I sealed it real well, then painted etc, it would hold up ok. Your input is appreciated. Frank (El Noobi-Homeowner) |

The garage door jambs can be replaced with a wood composite material that will last a lifetime. It doesn't need painted if white is your color. It's paintable for other color choices. That's what I use when repairing outdoor structures like door jambs, window brickmolds, etc. You can feather sand those chipped areas with #400 wet or dry sandpaper. Don't bear down hard, just lightly feather it out. The reason for the chips may be dirt under the paint.Be sure to scrub the door before proceeding. Since you're repainting them, I suggest a good water base bonding primer as your first coat. Glidden Gripper (ICI) or SW Bonding primer are both good choices. Finish with two quality top coats.

Hello Michael Thanks for the help. I'll look into replacing the door jamb, but to be honest I hadn't considered this. It seems like a huge undertaking. The jamb seems to disappear beyond the ceiling, so I'm not sure exactly how high it goes. But if I were to replace it, would replacing say the bottom half be an option? Or, when you change the jamb, doe the entire side have to be replaced? I'll be sure the surface is clean before I paint. I didn't realize dirt could do that much damage to a paint job - I always thought it was some hail storms we had last year. The dirt makes sense though. Thanks again. |

Yes, I've replaced half jambs many times. Just be sure the cut is square and flush fitted. You can use wood filler to fill the gap, sand smooth and it will disappear. Michael |
